Mountains
02:27
|
|||
|
Make me up in mountains,
White peaks dance around my ankles like a skirt.
I want to be cold, but never old,
So make me up in mountains,
Cover me in snow.
Make me up in mountains,
The wind's my puppeteer when I'm so high.
You've never been told, so how could you know,
So make me up in mountains,
Let me fall into the sky.

People we've met
03:01
|
|||
|
And what if I need you now, wrapped up in the future and I don't know how to just say hello,
but there's something in the way,
these words we knew but would never say.
I'm reaching out towards you,
open your mind,
but it's never been that simple and I've always wondered why.
I've finished the chapter, and I can't complain,
I've left it too late the past never stays.
Chorus-
We're just people we've met, we're just people we've met,
I'm sorry if I made a mistake,
the past something I can't forget.
We're just people we've met, we're just people we've met,
I hope we see the same light someday,
people we've met.
It's getting hopeless,
let's say our goodbyes before we go,
it's real so real,
just don't understand how you feel.
I'm looking back at what we had,
just call out my name,
we lost our voices long ago,
nothing to say,
but I can't let this escape me.
Chorus-
So our lives are far apart,
we've changed a lot,
Always remember what we had.

Herding cats
04:54
|
|||
|
Sorry I ever tried to be who you wanted,
Still you could give me some credit, I was bursting at the seams.
All these rules, all these tensions, a treacherous path,
and with my two left feet no wonder, I caused an avalanche.
Chorus-
And all these regrets, they built a wall, till I can't compete anymore.
So I'll walk away, secretly will try again.
This appealing game is like herding cats.
I doubt I'll ever be, even who I wanted,
The steps are clear but each one gets further and further apart.
And I know I've failed you, I think it's for the best.
Who let you have expectations at all.
Chorus x2
(Herding cats)
Not a puppet for your show,
(It's like herding cats)
Not someone you can control,
(It's like herding cats)
All my emotions where I told them not to be,
It's like herding cats.

Ice is melting
03:53
|
|||
|
Mmm, we are floating,
through, our own paved road,
mmm, there's chaos around us,
mmm, but not what we've known.
mmm, block out the howling,
watch, city turn to sea,
mmm, the ice is melting,
mmm, but so far from me.
mmm, it's not okay anymore,
one day, maybe you'll see,
mmm, it hasn't been for a while,
and neither have we.
Repeated sections-
The rivers feed the children
The ice is melting
The birds are dying- the birds are flying, away

The pot
03:10
|
|||
|
An island in the sea, there sits an old clay pot.
Inscribed on, for Lucy.
I give you a flower to see you bloom every day,
the parrot a good friend, he'll help in any way.
When you tire, dear Lucy, a bed of sand to rest your head, on the beach, in darkness, I'll sing to the stars who sing to you.
A figure in mere rags, holding a clay pot,
Inscribed on, for Lucy.
Warm sunlight, your smile, it reminds me every day.
You keep me from leaving when the tide's washing me away.
And shadows, sweet Lucy, their claws are kept at bay.
I wonder to the stars, If you're watching the brightest ones too.
And Lucy sweet Lucy, I'll sing to the stars, oh Lucy my Lucy, no matter where you are.
I'll sing to the stars for you...

Shadows dance with me
04:03
|
|||
|
Shadows dance with me, shadows dance with me.
I've been so lost, floating up high let me touch the stars.
Reckless, on a collision course with the sun.
The reason, is unclear, a voice inside telling me to change direction but I can't turn back now.
bridge-
Every part of me is numb, where people are trees or poisonous shrubs,
walk into the forest midday sun come shine on me.
chorus-
shadows dance with me woah, shadows dance with me, woah.
Jigsaw pieces from a puzzle who I am,
something needed a reminder of romance.
Shadows dance with me, woah, shadows dance with me, woah.
In the forest of lost shadows, lay me bare, a servant of the sun, endless daydream.
Hopeless, and falling,
the suns heat enforcing my gravity.
I'm screaming out for help, will anyone save me?
As I'm plummeting, my shadow appears at the floor beneath me. Before I hit the earth I'm grounded once more.
Bridge-
Chorus-
Shadows dance with me
Till the sun will fall, till the sun will fall.
The movement of a memory, sealed against a tree, the road map that I needed, the other side of me.

The lie
03:32
|
|||
|
Will you stay, be my everything,
by my side forever, a twenty carrot ring.
What they say, maybe it's true but, I don't want to loose you so I, don't want to know.
Chorus-
The lie,
Hiding in the darkness,
The lie the lie,
That's all we're feeling,
You lie,
I'm just dealing, but,
I lie I lie and I can't take it anymore.
Forget me not, erase me from existence,
Just be friends, an old acquaintance.
It's all there, a wall that keeps us at bay,
A river flows that doesn't narrow and meets the sea.
Chorus-
And I'll miss you, doubt you'll miss me too,
Everyday you're foggier in my mind.
I'm fine with loosing you, to me you were already gone.
The colour drained, your smile no longer as pretty as it was.
Chorus-
The lie,
The lie the lie,
I lie I lie and I can't take it anymore.

Colours
03:07
|

|
Can you see the colours that hide inside of me? Can you see the colours that hide inside of me? Which colour is brightest can you see? Can you see the colours that hide inside of me?
If I had a colour, what would it be?
I've always loved yellow, if people could see, they'd say,
Yellow is the colour of madness, you're in for a dangerous ride, they would keep their distance and I mind.
Can you see the colours that hide inside of me? Can you see the colours that hide inside of me? Which colour is brightest can you see? Can you see the colours that hide inside of me?
Should I walk alone, want no one seeing my colour.
So far from home, everyone here is blue.
And while I may be navy, if I'm not I'll be sorry. Sniffed out no matter what I do.
Can you see the colours that hide inside of me? Can you see the colours that hide inside of me? Which colour is brightest can you see? Can you see the colours that hide inside of me?
Can you see the colours, can you see them now?

No regrets
05:30
|
|||
|
There must be a million reasons making us want to break the ceiling and only one to smile,
Talking souls full of colour, why do you only show her the one you pretend to be?
Walking alone, hurting alone,
Don't wait just tell them,
We all respect the silence there's no reciprocation.
I won't live my life full of regrets, don't want to think about the words that you said, walking souls colourful, I see all of you.
Don't tell me there's nothing I can do, because I can, see those navy blues,
the colours, your colours, I'm blind no more.
Can you say my dear, I'm beginning to wonder, you're not here,
something I'd hate to say but had to anyway,
Carrying on is what we do best, keep going even when it's hopeless, you'll get through one day.
Walking alone, hurting alone,
Don't wait just tell them,
We all respect the silence there's no reciprocation.
I won't live my life full of regrets, don't want to think about the words that you said, walking souls colourful, I see all of you.
Don't tell me there's nothing I can do, because I can, see those navy blues,
the colours, your colours, I'm blind no more.
Blue, with a little bit of red, promises we made but never kept, I'm blind no more.
Yellow, the only colour that, doesn't remind me of sunsets and smiles and you, I'm blind no more.

Best part of me
03:44
|
|||
|
Tell me how do I help you when I can't even help myself,
Lost in a foreign skin, all my walls they crumbled long ago.
I've gone on too long with this hole in my back, got cracks reaching down to my toes. I'm so broken down, I can't see an out.
My body is aching, the cracks reaching my bones.
But while I am hurting, my bones are my own.
Somewhere inside, a flame burns brighter, in the dark it can't be seen.
One day the burning, will fill the gap in, and I'll feel the warmth caress my skin,
although I'm hurting, the hole is not the best part of me, no, no.
I've found my way up again, but silence remembers how I was.
The hole not yet filled, but I'll make do with what I've got.
I've gone on too long with this hole in my back, got cracks reaching down to my toes. But I'm doing fine, gotta catch up wit life now.
My body is aching, the cracks reaching my bones.
But while I am hurting, my bones are my own.
Somewhere inside, a flame burns brighter, in the dark it can't be seen.
One day the burning, will fill the gap in, and I'll feel the warmth caress my skin,
although I'm hurting, the hole is not the best part of me, no, no.
My body is aching, the cracks reaching my bones.
But while I am hurting, my bones are my own.
Somewhere inside, a flame burns brighter, in the dark it can't be seen.
One day the burning, will fill the gap in, and I'll feel the warmth caress my skin,
although I'm hurting, the hole is not the best part of me.
I will get there eventually, I still have the best part of me.
